Women in Donegal may have received incorrect smear results

Dr Grainne Flannelly, clinical director at CervicalCheck, has resigned from her position after a smear test scandal revealed 206 women were wrongly misdiagnosed.

When she returned for a routine smear test three years later in 2014, she was told she had cervical cancer.

The 206 women whose smear tests were misread should have been referred on for further investigation, including an invasive diagnostic procedure or repeat smear, which could have picked up their cancer and led to earlier treatment.

Dr Flannelly said she had chose to step aside to allow the service continue its important work.

The HSE also expressed confidence in that team to address the current concerns and said the review "will determine any learnings and opportunities for improvement within the CervicalCheck programme".

The HSE is confident that, in keeping with the usual principles of natural justice, the Minister would expect that this peer review would be completed and appropriate procedures followed before there is any judgement passed on the role of the clinical and managerial leadership of the programme.
